Look, I want to preface the next sentence by saying that I am all for education; the more you know, the more you know. But, some of the smartest, wisest people I have ever met didn't have a formal education. Yet, I could ask them some life question, some financial solution, some complex dilemma, and they would always have sage advice.
I have truly been blessed in my life to have the resources of wise people. They directed towards a better end, a more popular solution, a wiser decision. I didn't, and don't, always follow the advice of these wise people but it doesn't lessen the fact that they are truly wise. How?
Today's word is the beginning of Ecclesiastes 2:26, KJV, which reads, "For GOD giveth to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy..."
The reason these folks are so wise is because GOD gives them wisdom and knowledge and joy. All these people, these super intelligent people are GOD'S people, and He rewards them with wisdom and knowledge.
It makes me think of the disciples. As they were preaching, someone made comment that these men of Galilee were unlearned and ignorant men. How could they know so much? Then, they remembered that they had been with JESUS! Want to be wiser? Stick with JESUS! Want to have knowledge? Stick with JESUS! Want true joy? Stick with JESUS! That's how they know!
Be Blessed,
